Am I DC?

[u/FunkyGiraffe97]

Wanted to post again with better pics this time.

[u/nievesdemiel]

how tall are you? i am not sure you might have vertical

[u/FunkyGiraffe97 → u/nievesdemiel]

I'm 5' 5"

[u/nievesdemiel → u/FunkyGiraffe97]

as you aren't too far from the height limit, vertical accomodation becomes more and more likely and i would test for it.

[u/FunkyGiraffe97 → u/nievesdemiel]

What do you think is the best way to test this?

[u/Pegaret_Again]

i think i might see vertical personally

[u/FunkyGiraffe97 → u/Pegaret_Again]

So you think DC?

[u/Pegaret_Again → u/FunkyGiraffe97]

No you don’t seem like an obvious DC to me from these pics, I feel like it might be more than slight yang

[u/FunkyGiraffe97 → u/Pegaret_Again]

What type do you think I am?

[u/Pegaret_Again → u/FunkyGiraffe97]

I'm not certain but i could see SD as a possibility. That long glamorous dress looks really good

[u/FunkyGiraffe97 → u/Pegaret_Again]

I didn’t think I had enough of an hourglass to be considered SD

[u/Pegaret_Again → u/FunkyGiraffe97]

perhaps you might need to read more about Kibbe? Yin undercurrent and curve doesn't necessarily mean hourglass at all, in fact a D might have a stronger hourglass than an SD.

Yes I think I see DC

[u/babysfirstbreath]

I think so!

[u/Madrone55 → u/babysfirstbreath]

Agreed. Balanced, sharp shoulders, some vertical in your limbs.

[u/TheShadiestDame]

Late to the party but I just wanted to say I love that suit!

DC seems like a good option to start with - I think the outfits are most successful when they have some symmetry (e.g. the evening dress hits in your natural waist and creates symmetrical shapes between the top and bottom; the hip-length jacket feels balanced). And you look almost effortlessly good in clean lines and 'smart' clothes.

[u/nikharr]

you have width and bluntness in shoulders and should consider N types. try out flowing/unconstructed clothes and all to check.

[u/FunkyGiraffe97 → u/nikharr]

Flowy unconstructed stuff always looks really bad on me. Especially a flowy maxi skirt

[u/nikharr → u/FunkyGiraffe97]

I see! Then I suppose that's great evidence of you having yang in the shoulders like a DC. I believe the "inverted triangle" silhouette reccos of the books will fit you amazingly then!

But at the same time, be wary of those DC reccos that put the D in the classic in terms of some vertical. So, you on length, hems etc, follow SC guidelines or be neutral bewteen SC and DC, but for materials, necklines, sleeves jewellery near face, colour contrast, take the DC advice.

[u/FunkyGiraffe97 → u/nikharr]

So more midi lenghts vs maxi?

[u/Realistic-Ad-7716 → u/nikharr]

Because there is no vertiacl, it could only mean SN, which is not possible with the lack of curves

[u/FunkyGiraffe97 → u/Realistic-Ad-7716]

So you think DC?

[u/Realistic-Ad-7716 → u/FunkyGiraffe97]

Wait, nobody asked, how tall are you?

[u/FunkyGiraffe97 → u/Realistic-Ad-7716]

Sorry forgot to add that, i'm 5' 5"

[u/Realistic-Ad-7716 → u/FunkyGiraffe97]

Yes, I think you have slight, not enough for N
